An invitation-only community of business owners, founders, executives, and leaders who grow through honest conversation, trusted relationships, and shared learning.
Is Next Mile right for you?
Next Mile is for owners, founders, executives, and leaders who are serious about growth and the relationships that fuel it.
Most groups optimize for volume. We optimize for the twelve months in front of you.Smaller rooms, people worth your time, and conversations that actually move something.
Several learning opportunities and curated gatherings every month. Always something worth showing up for.
Every person in the room has been thoughtfully vetted. You’ll leave with relationships that actually matter.
No hard sells. No card drops. No hollow follow-ups. Just real connection built over time.
Founders, executives, investors, and leaders across all industries, who share a commitment to growth, generosity, and lifting others up while they climb.
Members participate in a mix of small gatherings designed to encourage meaningful conversations and continued growth.
Next Mile isn’t about collecting contacts. It’s about building relationships with people you genuinely respect.
“My Next Mile Network experience has been about real connection. The groups are small, the conversations are honest, and I always leave encouraged and challenged. It’s rare to find a space where leaders can be that open, but this is one of them.”
Every member starts with a conversation.Yours can start here.
Ginger and Eric founded Next Mile to create the kind of community they didn’t see elsewhere, one where business owners and leaders could engage in real conversations, learn from trusted experts, and build relationships rooted in trust over transactions. It’s a place for growth that feels grounded, not performative. A community built on depth, not hype.

What is Next Mile Network
An invitation-only community of business owners, founders, executives, and leaders who take growth seriously and show up for each other.
Members gain access to a trusted peer group, curated events, and a community that takes growth and generosity seriously.This isn’t a directory. It’s a relationship.
Learning events built around what owners and leaders are actually working through. Small rooms, eight to fifteen people, no lectures. You leave with something you can use this week.
A room of people who know your business and will take your call. No no-solicitation rule here. If a member is the right person for the work, that is the point.
